This show is a bit different because you can’t hear it, you can watch it! I hooked up with Mazi O from www.maziovideo.com and together we bring you “Dating 101 with Kel Spencer”. In anticipation of his newest project “Salon Stories” dropping Oct. 20th Kel and I went on our “first date” and discussed the rules of an early relationship as well as his music and upcoming project. Enjoy! Go to www.thebsideshow.com to watch the interview!

Sorry for the delay of the show, I’ve been sick BUT I’ve got what you’ve been waiting for, the finale of my weekly series leading up to the 2009 BK Hip Hop Festival and this show is repping the ladies! First up I spoke with rapper Blessroxwell who although is not performing at this year’s hip hop festival is a true talent that deserved some shine nonetheless. Then I’m introducing you to one of the two female performers at this year’s event Eagle Nebula and I’ll be debuting their music on the show as well. Since I’m under the weather I decided to skip my usual intro/outro (no one wants to hear a sick person talk) and give you a few musical gems from some females that are currently MIA in the music world that I would LOVE to see make a complete comeback (not just a single here and there or a few features I mean an entire album). Enjoy. That wraps up The Warm Up To The Burn Down! Get out and enjoy the 2009 The BK Hip Hop Festival!

As we continue on…THE WARM UP 2 THE BURN DOWN PT. 2! For this installment of my series I’m speaking with Philly rapper Nyle (he’s hilarious) about his unique style (he often performs with his live band), cooking skills, his college music series and his goal for his BKHHF performance (it involves jumping on people). Plus I’m catching up with Harlem’s own rapper Donny Goines who broke down the relationship between his 1st album “Minute after Midnight”, his latest album “The Breakfast Club” and his next album, him spending 3 years in the Navy before getting into rap and how he manages to still make money (legally) in this struggling music industry. Of course I’m hitting you with music from Nyle and Donny Goines but also from another group gracing the stage at the BKHHF called Keys n Krates. TRUST these guys are amazing and I can’t wait to see them do what they do live!

WELCOME TO PART 1 OF MY LEAD UP TO THE BROOKLYN HIP HOP FESTIVAL ON 6/20 “THE WARM UP TO THE BURN DOWN”! Normally I do shows on a monthly basis but for this special series I’ll be doing a brand new show EVERY WEEK leading up to the “burn down” on June 20! Each show will feature interviews with up and coming artists taking the stage at this year’s festival as well as music from all of the performers.

For the 1st installment of my series I’m talking to the man that makes the BKHHF possible executive director Wes Jackson about the new additions to this year’s festival, how he was able to make the festival bigger and better despite the crumbling economy, his pick for this year’s next big thing in hip hop and how YOU can help keep the festival going. I also caught up with a dope group of emcees, dj’s and producers brought together through their talent, love for music and employment at NYC’s Fat Beats record store, The Brown Bag Allstars. I’ll also be debuting 2 of their joints on the show as well as music from some of the other performers at this year’s festival.

Gripping your heart and touching your soul author Shavon Meyers brings life back to the art of poetry with the release of:

“QuietStorm Vol. 1 (Poeticallycomplexforwardthinkingsimplicities)”

Brooklyn, NY-November 24th 2008-Remember the feeling you had when you opened the book that changed your outlook on life? Prepare to experience that feeling once more. Poet and radio host Shavon Meyers brings to life that feeling and much more in her first publication “QuietStorm Vol. 1 (Poeticallycomplexforwardthinkingsimplicities) (108 pp, Outskirts Press, Inc, $9.95).

From the heartache and confusion of a solider at war, to the lost of innocence from a victim of sexual abuse, to the feeling of abandonment through the eyes of society’s forgotten homeless and even the regretful state of a drug addict, Shavon takes readers through life’s hardships from the point of view of every race, sex and creed leaving nothing to the imagination. The love and passion for writing is shown not only through Shavon’s ability to showcase life’s harsh realities but also through her poems of love, hope, happiness, triumph and spirituality. All have been brought together in this exceptionally crafted work of art that bridges the gap between generations and inspires all who read it.

Shavon currently resides in Brooklyn NY. She is the host of her own radio show on www.thebsideshow.com and her daily thoughts can be read on her blog at http://blog.thebsideshow.com. A portion of the proceeds from QuietStorm Vol. 1 will be donated to The Women’s Organization of Rebirth Through Healing (W.O.R.T.H.). www.youreworthit.org

For interviews, review copies or more information contact the author directly: Shavon Meyers quietstormvol1@yahoo.com

What’s good? I have to say this is by far the best show I’ve ever done! You should already know what this new show is all about. I’m speaking on the victory of our next President Barack Obama! As you know I’ve been on the fence with the whole election, its process and the government, but this is history and I can honestly say that I believe a change may come. Check out the show to see how my views have changed (slightly lol).

NEW ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: JESSE BOYKINS III

For my new artist spotlight, I caught up with Jesse Boykins III at the recent Rock The Vote show at SOB’s in NYC. I got to talk with him about his music, his band and of course his new album entitled “The Beauty Created” plus I’m debuting his single “Chanel” from his upcoming album on the show as well.
